S3, Lucid dreaming is a result of your meditation practice. It is the manifestation of transcendental consciousness in the dreaming state. MMY has stated that TC can be automatically maintained in the waking, sleeping and dreaming states. But there are junctures in between these states

What would happen if a person can both maintain the waking and dreaming states at the same time? Happens all the time. It's call schizophrenia.

That is cool -- I don't enjoy the experience of sleeping or dreaming, as much as I do being active. If I could just remain active 24x7, that would be my preference. My attitude often when I become aware of a dream, is, Oh God, let's get it done with, so I can finish the sleep thing, and wake up

Thanks for the feedback - particularly Michael and Richard. Yes, utilising a lucid dream as part of one's spiritual growth - or at least to explore one's more subtle states of consciousness - sounds more promising than just escaping into another gratifying fantasy.
